New Website

Hi All !!!
This is Pier Davide Romani, from Italy. I’m here to promote my last project about skating! Finally after several month of working Me and my staff finish our website about Skating world.
We will talk about:
• Training program of Pro skaters:
Every month one of the top skaters and coach of the world will share with us his personal training program. The training program will be explained easily thanks to a huge text and videos (as youtube format) and pictures. In this way you can have a look how a top level skater prepare the season or.. a marathon, or improve specific attitude.
• Training program for Fitness:
Our world is big thanks to the fitness skaters, and I did not forget them. In this articles all the fitness skater will find different training program made specially for them. You work all day? You are student and skating is just a hobby? You skate as amateur? But.. anyway you want to improve and bet your self race by race? This training program take care about your situation and your opportunity to train. Also here all the trainings program will be supported by demonstration in videos so will be easy to understand and to make it.
• Technique:
I’m not the guru, the one, or Chad Hadrick, to write about the “perfect” technique, but for sure I will love to share with you my personal experience, and other top skates will love too.
In this articles you will see “the best skaters on the road” share with you their personal technique, like double push, how to skate in the rain, how to move in the pack saving energy for the sprint, team tactics, individual tactics.. and much more. Don’t worry, if you do not understand some part… the videos and pictures and scheme will help you!
• Base of skating:
In 12 “episode” we will bring you from 0 to a prefect fitness skater! (I guess eh eh). I spent more than 3 years to teach how to skate from zero, the basic positions, the push in High school here in Italy… and I understood that manuals are not always so funny and easy. In this 12 “episode”, people that don’t even know what a pair of skates is, will find a funny documentary that teach how to start skating, but also how to choose the skates, difference between brand and quality, and how to take care about skates, bearings, wheels and how to upgrade them! I think you can also use this funny way to learn how to teach the first steps of skating to your friends.. (with girls works a lot ehehe)
• Medical tip:
Yes, I Know, you can find medical tip wherever you want, but the idea here is little different. We are talking about real experience, documented of skaters from all the levels. You can read wherever you want what to eat and what to drink, and you can go to the doctor directly when you feel some pain or something wrong, but here, you will find some advice, some reality and some solution for situation that other skaters lived before you! How to recover from injury, (thanks to Juan Carlos Betancur I find a special way to recover from injury and after 7 years I use his method using medicinal from clombia. After 3 days from a big crash I’m almost new!!) what kind of food supplier is better to use and what is just a fake for our sport.. and much more. Also here videos and pictures will make the understanding more easy.
• Product testing:
I already know that this articles about testing products will put me in trouble with some companies, but all of us know that some products are really good and some others not.
Me and others top skater will test different products, from wheels to frames, bearings, and all the market offer to the skaters. We will compare this products between companies, testing in the track, on the road, under the rain, in all conditions, we will take care to make a really good test documented with videos, pictures, and than you will give the final opinion.
Is to easy for a company to sponsor the best world skaters and tell everybody that their products are the best…maybe is true.. and maybe not. In the same time, can be possible that very new and little companies that have no money to invest in advertise produce anyway really innovative and good products? … let’s see what will came out from the test!
• New Products:
While in the previous argument we will choose what to test based on your questions and for a public interest, in this page we will introduce to you the new products came out in the market or on the read to be… directly from the companies or directly from the races.
• On the road of Spain 2008:
Can be funny to have a “big brother eyes” in skating. I want to give my personal tribute to make our life as “pro skaters” more real for who is racing with me and for how is going to see a competitions. “Pro skaters or world top skaters” means nothing and means everything in our little sport but here you can find my personal blog month by month .I will write my life till the World Championship in Spain 2008. My trainings, my work, my night party, my life outside the skate world, my fight for a place in national team, .. maybe will be curious to see where another skater take motivations to keep going so many years or to come back to the road of victory or simply.. understand what I do wrong if I will not be able to get my goals. Have fun.
• Gossip and Rumours:
Rumours and Gossip, what more to say? In Italy we use to say “Is not all Gold what’s shine”
I will have lot’s of trouble for this articles, that’s sure…but I’m not politically correct, and some gossip and rumours are true… so… just read here what people say around.
• Man or Girl of the month:
How can I resist to have a celebrity on my first webpage? I can’t! Each issue of this magazine will have a man or girl (skater, coach, company owner, etc..) in the first page introduced to you.. with Our personal website style: Funny, real, human, dynamic and easly.
• Questions and answers:
You have questions to ask to your champs? You want to make your personal interview to your favourite coach? You need answers? Just write us an email with your questions telling who you want to answer you.. and monthly we will put the most funny, useful, and interesting questions and answers in the website under this articles… Get in touch directly with your champs, they have your same passion for this sport, and maybe it will take little time, but.. you will have your answer!
• Personal training program:
You don’t have a coach but you have goals? You are alone? You want to try a personal trainer and have an idea about what to do to improve yourself? You have a team but you need a support and ideas about training to do all together? With this option you can talk directly with one of our Personal Trainer, tell him your time, your track or road information, and goal you want to get in the season. The personal trainer will study a training for you and month by month you will get the exercise to do in your own blog. You will not get only what to do, but also how to do, and what to take care when you do the exercise, and you can sand your feed back to your P.T whenever you want!

Those are the main arguments of the website, but you will find more arguments month by month and all of them will be supported by videos and pictures.

I would like to explain the spirit of this website in few words:
“I’m still young, I’m only 27 y. but when I look behind me and what I’ve done, I understand that every time a really make a step was the time I took a lesson from the experience. I lose for many years before win a race, and I crashed several time before understand how to fight. All this is a normal process, “learn from the experience” in life. I’m not so foolish to tell you guys to don’t try to do something or..to do this or that because for sure you will have advantage, but here.. I want to share with you my experience and the experience of other top skates, and than.. is your turn to see what is ok, what is good enough to be tried and what’s not. What I’m sure, is.. now you have an option.
This website will not be politically correct, this means that we will write really what we think about products, materials, companies, during the test, and we will show you also the good and the bad things thanks to the videos and pictures. A good test can save you money, remember this!
The last part of this website is to create a new community world wild thanks to the “mercatino” (Shop). Is not a normal shop, but is your personal shop where you can sale your products and your materials, new or used and buy from other user too. Will be like E-bay, but focus on skating world.
You will be surprised about how easy and fast is to sale used stuff and how much you save buying from other member of this website!
YES. The spirit of this website is to be more close to all the skaters in daily life, for real, giving advices, sharing experience, giving the opportunity to make “business” between members and creating a direct line to different level and different nations.
